This project looks amazing. I've been trying to export my game and make it work with itch-io, but I am yet to make it work: I added all the files in the build directory to the game.zip file, uploaded that to itch.io and ticked it as the file to start the game from. I try running the game, but before it starts, it shows me this error:

Downloading Story...
Error while downloading Story https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/2742107/game.zip : (status code 403)

What should I do? Thank you once again.

Hi,

For itch.io, you don't add files to game.zip.

You make a new .zip (e.g. myvisualnovel-web.zip) that contains all the build directory files (e.g. all the files within myvisualnovel-1.0.0-dists/myvisualnovel-1.0.0-web/), including game.zip (in the end, there is a zip in a zip, e.g. game.zip in myvisualnovel-web.zip).

Worked like a charm, thank you very much. One last thing tho, when I click in the game in the webpage, I get notifications on the top that say "Push!Pop!" that repeat themselves. Is there a way to disable or hide them? 
Thank you once again.

Hmm, good thing I checked the page because I missed your post notification.

I never saw the push/pop notifications you mention.
I suspect there is some Python "print" calls somewhere in your game.
I'm considering blocking those, but they are usually debug left-over that are best removed, for performance reasons.

(if that's not it, send a screenshot and details about  your OS/browser brand&version)
